About MySQL
MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) designed to help businesses record, update, and manage data and deploy cloud-native applications. Features include data masking and de-identification, multi-document transaction support, intrusion detection, alerts, and configuration management.
The application provides tools to automate administrative tasks such as data provisioning, backup, patching, and tuning. Engineers can protect confidential data by using encryption, key generation, and digital signatures. Administrators can also monitor user and application-level performance and resource consumption of the database via performance schema.
MySQL Enterprise Firewall helps database administrators protect information through real-time threat monitoring, whitelisting, and SQL statement blocking features. The Query Analyzer lets engineers view query activities, identify problematic queries through full table scans and bad index searches, and evaluate multiple executions during a specific time period.
Developers can use MySQL Workbench to perform database modeling, query development and testing, server configuration, audit data inspection, and database migrations. MySQL allows team members to recover data by utilizing backward compatible full recovery, precise one-click, point-in-time, and partial recovery capabilities.

MySQL is a king of his game

Pros
Very Suitable for ( small / medium ) database sized under 5GB. But, it can also deal with over medium databases by expanding your server resources.
I think it is the choice of small app that will expand in the few next months / years, it is really scalable.
Cons
It consumes more ram when the database size gets over 5GB or 10GB of disk space, making it even hareder to make a backup of that size unless you have a very powerful machine with fast nvme.

When we are looking at non-programmers trying to have a web application which will be maintained by business professionals and has comparatively simple data relations MySQL can be a good options. But for complex systems MySQL won't be a good option.
Pros
It is very easy to setup and requires very less supervision. As MySQL is lightweight the applications are usually faster.
Cons
It is not possible to develop complex systems using MySQL. It doesn't support many object based features like inheritance and functional overloading.

The manager has been used in the implementation of monitoring software, in addition to being used in a software development project.
Pros
It is a manager that is very easy to implement, adjust and configure based on the needs that you want to meet. The resources needed for its implementation are low, being able to increase them based on what is required, being able to carry out a more adequate distribution of resources.
Cons
The replication and backup tools of the same software have limitations that end up affecting their operation, having to use other means of control and restoration to improve results.
Reasons for Switching to MySQL
Due to its customization and transactional capabilities and the few resources needed for its implementation.

MySQL is suitable for both beginners and experts. My company's performance has improved with the use of this software. MySQL is Simple to use it has Cross-platform support, allowing it to run on any operating system, MySQL Connect to practically any backend programming language with ease.
Pros
The best thing about MySQL, in my opinion, is that it has one of the best user interfaces of any database. With existing databases, a variety of filters and queries can be used, and tables can be imported from other applications or third-party browsers.
MySQL is based on a standard database, where we use it to perform CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations and manage data for a web application or a variety of other uses.
One feature to note is that the relationship between tables in a database can be tracked, which we can easily retrieve using indexing functions. Because it supports user authentication and validation, many online applications use MySQL as their back-end to manage user data.
Cons
What I don't like are the few options it has for building tables and it requires a lot of software to be installed to work properly.
